It can feel great. And it can help you learn about your body and what turns you on. It can also make you appreciate your body, which is especially good if you are feeling worried about your body and how it looks.
Masturbation can also help you relax and deal with stress. It can even make you sleep better.
And it’s safer than any other type of sex. This is because you have no risk of HIV or STIs, and it can’t lead to pregnancy.
